The Gallup Poll said it, it must be true. Read the whole thing, but here are some highlights:
Secondhand Smoke a Second-Rate Risk?
Americans resist severe public smoking restrictions
(…) Most Americans are against prohibiting smoking in all public places, although a third favor this. Only 16%, however, would make smoking totally illegal. . . .
(Here are some of the section headings:)
Barely Half View Secondary Smoke as “Very Harmful”
Few Would Ban Smoking in Bars
Tobacco Prohibition?Very few Americans, just 16%, would put smoking on par with illicit drugs, making it totally illegal in the United States. Smokers and nonsmokers share this sentiment almost equally.
Isn’t that interesting.
